Maria's Story

Maria Lost 37 Pounds

Maria spent her days running around, yet never losing weight.

"I have two kids. I work full time. My husband works full time. I'm always juggling ten things. And I struggled to find a weight loss program that fit my lifestyle."

The programs Maria tried weren’t structured, so she would "eat my points in chocolate and cake."

"I'm a disciplined person. I need someone to hold me accountable. HMR's structure made it perfect for me. I loved that you were required to come to class, to call your Health Educator, to learn what foods you can or can’t eat."

With Healthy Solutions® Maria soon lost 37 pounds, got her blood pressure back to normal, and dropped three dress sizes. "I never thought I could be a size 6. I feel great!"

"That kind of weight loss doesn’t happen on your own. You need someone to teach you healthy habits because you want to change behaviors that you’ve had for a lifetime. That doesn'’t happen within 10 weeks." She adds that, "I think the key is deciding whether or not you want to do something quick that you’re not going to sustain, or do you really want to change your lifestyle and sustain it over a long period of time?"

Maria also raves about HMR foods. "I can put an entrée in the microwave and have lunch one minute later. It's incredible. And it’s less expensive than what I’d spend in the cafeteria or on fast food." Best of all, the mom with very little time now has some timeless advice: "HMR forced me to pay attention to work-life balance and take time for myself. When you're a working mom, you have to take time for yourself. Otherwise, you're not going to be there for anybody else."
